CaMpylobacter Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 confused boes. When buying a link. wtf does loom length mean. jsut went to order mine, thoght, 200mm = WTF. 2m FTW. dude was like 'boe that's a h00j loom' so. my question.... does the loom just entail, an ECU - 'mainplug' type loom, then you build it to suit form there, or what? replys would be eagerly received by tomorrow lunchtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 2m is fucking immense. It's measured from main outlet plug from ecu Probably 100mm at most, that's what my Microtech stz was, approx You'd be surprised how short factory one is. Where you mounting the Link?

CaMpylobacter Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 so Link loom will go just to the firewall? choice, 200mm will be sweet then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 That's a massive loom Like I asked, where the fuck are you mounting the ecu? Half way down the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yeap, 200mm is the standard that comes with the link g3 as far as I'm aware. Bare in mind that it will probably be mounted beneath the dash and go straight through to the engine, where you only really need injectors, dizzy, a couple sensors and power, so you won't be needing to wrap it around the car 3 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Really? Fair enough. Maybe I'm just being retarded, it;s happened before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 yup 200mm comes standard. I for some reason thought they must come pre fabricated and you jsut shorted wires to suit, and chuck plugs on 200mm it is. You cunts saved me ~$100 paying for it at lunch. aws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 that's the sausgae. costing me $1266 all up inc a couple of sensors I need/want jsut need ITBs, make a manifold, work out what injectors to use, and chuck her all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 whats the easiest way to make a manifold for itbs? Do you cut a flange of of your standard intake and then the 20v intake and just weld them together with joining pipes or is it just as easy to fabricate the whole thing from scratch? I think ITB's is a better option than fucking around with carbs now, simply because of purchasing a link anyway.. it really makes ITB's the obvious decision.

Jebus Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Try get a gasket/template for either end, send them to this chap http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=9615 say Hey Boe then take the plates he cuts somewhere, most likely the pipes will need to angled and different sizes at either end. mad mission to build. Got a pic of your stock inlet manifold? 1 or 2 piece? could maybe use stock runners to a plenum with the ITBS, bolted onto the front of it. Dunno Engine bay pics plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Well they aren't even individual runners in a conventional sence, it is pretty much one solid chunk of intake manifold that starts to curve down just after the fuel rail bolts on to it so it will be less than ideal to use. Thats what I did have in the back of my mind though. Hmm... I do wonder if that chap will do any favours for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going scratch built prolly. sis' new bf = apprentice stz at a place that does profile cutting and shit. hookups, or smash him. seriously also, bike carbs FTMFW over sidies, but injection pwns all.
